Chapter 106 White Truffle and Black Truffle (Part 2)
"Huh! I'm finally back!" Fang Yu let out a long sigh after turning off the engine.
"Yuzu, is the mountain floating in the sky that Jeffrey talked about, and the frequent earthquakes in that place, true or false?" Fang Yu picked up the pomelo and put it on his backpack.
He didn't need to put Yuzu away. Yuzu had the Mage's Hand, and putting it on the backpack was just to hide it from others.
Professor Jorz flashed a glance. "Before the Great Arcana Era, there were cities floating in the sky, but later, these cities all crashed. However, in the Prime Plane, I have never heard of mountains floating in the sky."
These days, Fang Yu would switch to the main plane with Youzi from time to time to stay for a while.
By the way, throw the giant wolf cub back to the main plane.
There is no other way. If I don't go there, time will not move. Besides, it would be a shame not to explore such a large main plane.
Each switch costs 20 30-point cultured diamonds, which is equivalent to 40,000 Da Zhou coins.
Although Wangshu Lei is currently very profitable, Fang Yu is not prepared to spend his own money to travel through time.
You can’t lose money on a trip, that’s the bottom line.
Therefore, when Fang Yu switched to Luwak again, he did not drive the G500, but asked Chun Riyou to buy an F150 pickup truck and a 9.6-meter van.
The first time he returned to Loire, he drove a van, which was filled with no less than a hundred kinds of goods classified into different categories.
20-liter barrels of honey, 500 kilograms of rice, spices such as black pepper, cloves, star anise, and Sichuan pepper, glassware, ceramics, chemical fiber products, cloth, silk, paper, leather, tea, knives, swords, strong acid, arsenic... I won't list the rest to make up the word count.
Carrying these goods, Fang Yu drove the 9.6-meter Dongfeng Tianlong, rolling up endless flying grass all the way. In less than four hours, before 8 o'clock in the evening, he arrived at Mercfore.
Strictly speaking, Mercforie is actually a castle, and most of the civilian facilities are actually located in the castle town outside the castle.
This is somewhat similar to the Warring States Period in Japan.
There are no city walls in the castle town. Only some communities have two or three meter high stone walls that divide the entire city into pieces.
The behemoth driven by Fang Yu certainly shocked the Knights of Mercfore's territory. The Knights rode on horses and held torches and surrounded Fang Yu's Dongfeng Tianlong.
But with the blessing of Fang Yu's "druid" identity and superb interpersonal skills, the leader of the territory's knights, Arangero, made a concession and agreed to let Fang Yu park his car in the far suburbs of the castle town three kilometers away from the castle.
Fang Yu had no objection to this. He set up a 25-square-meter semi-permanent tent on the spot, and took out a set of inflatable mattresses, camping tables and chairs, tea-making utensils, and a barbecue grill. Before he started grilling, the second eight-hour switching time was over.
The third switch was still late at night in Mercfori. Fang Yu ate barbecued skewers for two hours, analyzed an "alarm technique" and a "foot grease" in the tent, and practiced the Buffy training method again. Only then did he get through the eight hours.
It wasn't until the fourth switch that Fang Yu recovered some health.
120,000 Da Zhou coins, just wasted like this.
Fang Yu's heart was bleeding.
I must make back what I lost, and by the way, I also have to think about how to extend my time in Loire.
Based on previous experience, upgrades and privilege escalation have not helped to prolong the time.
This time when we switched to Luwak, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning local time.
Most of the shops and workshops in the castle town have already started working.
People here get up quite early. At four or five in the morning, horse-drawn carriages start to leave from various areas of the castle and the castle town. Some deliver goods in the castle town, while others leave Merkfort and go to other areas.
Fang Yu did not sell the goods immediately. Instead, he ran to the surrounding shops and used the Charm Human to charm the owner of a large fur shop in the city, asking the owner to help him set the prices for the goods.
Even most local shopkeepers have never seen these things, so naturally they cannot give accurate prices and can only rely on guessing.
In this case, some goods will definitely be worth less than their own saleable value, resulting in out-of-stock, while some goods will be priced too high and cannot be sold.
Moreover, the prices of most new products need to be widely tested and recognized by the market, and only after a secondary market is formed can there be relatively accurate market pricing.
However, Fang Yu didn't mind too much. Making money this time was not the goal.
What Fang Yu needs is to understand the local price level so that he can set more reasonable prices in the future.
In the end, Fang Yu discovered that among the hundreds of commodities he carried, measured purely from the perspective of volume, the four items with the highest profits were ceramics, tea, spices, and cold weapons.
One kilogram of tea can be sold for 7 gold dukes, and one kilogram of spices can be sold for 5 gold dukes, but the density of spices is greater than that of tea, so for the same volume, the price difference is not much.
However, cold weapons were far beyond Fang Yu's expectations.
A modern machined manganese steel long sword has a wholesale price of only 120 Da Zhou coins, but here, it can be sold for more than 30 gold dukes.
Based on the calculation that 1 Golden Duke contains 2.8 grams of gold, it is equivalent to 24,000 Great Zhou coins.
Fang Yu brought an exquisite knight's two-handed sword decorated with artificial gems, which was sold at a high price of 500 gold dukes.
According to the fur shop owner Jeffrey, the buyer was a knight from Mercfory, who probably wanted to keep it as a family heirloom.
In the end, it took Fang Yu six switches, or two days of main-plane time, to sell out all the goods in his truck, earning a total of 68,700 Golden Dukes.
Of course, Fang Yu had already unloaded those worthless items that took up space on the ground. Every time he went back, he would replenish them with hundreds of cold weapons.
After completing the six switches, Fang Yu had sold nearly three thousand cold weapons. It is said that this number is twice the total number of the Mercfore Knights.
However, Fang Yu still couldn't find any suitable goods to bring back.
Until today's switch.
This time, it was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon local time. The area where the Knights approved Fang Yu to be stationed was in the suburbs. There were many farmlands and woods here, and some domesticated livestock were wandering around freely.
Fang Yu has now recruited three helpers locally. Under the leadership of the charming and loyal fur shop owner Jeffrey, they help Fang Yu manage the business, so Fang Yu has time to slack off.
"Huh?" Fang Yu, who was sitting on a camping chair making tea, suddenly made a new discovery.
A domestic pig with fangs kept digging the ground with its nose. Soon, it dug out a black tuber the size of a fist from the ground. It swallowed it in one gulp and began to chew it with relish.
"*&@%&*￥#!" Fang Yu thought for a moment, stretched out his finger, and performed an "animal communication".
"Find me another piece of that thing you just had, and I'll give you something delicious." Fang Yu gave the black pig an order.
The black pig looked at the human who could communicate with him in confusion, snorted twice, sniffed the ground with his nose, and soon began to dig up the ground with his nose again.
Fang Yu walked closer to the black pig, picked up the yellow-white tuber that the black pig had just arched up, and cast an arcane spell to clear the dirt on the surface.
"Sure enough." Fang Yu smiled with satisfaction.
"Jeffroy! Give this pig a bag of flour! Also, you should have a lot of this stuff here, right? Yes, this wild boar food. How much do you sell it for? No money? How can you sell it for no money? 10 copper pills for one kilogram. I want as much as you have!"
White truffles and black truffles, finally I saw something worth shipping back.
It’s not because many book lovers said before that they don’t like reading about other worlds that this part of the plot passed so quickly, but because in the original outline, this part was going to be written fictitiously.
Because writing about how to gain the trust of the local natives at the beginning is too troublesome and will easily slow down the pace, when I wrote this detailed outline a few months ago, I had already decided to write about it fictitiously.
